These fluffy pancakes are perfect for a delicious breakfast or brunch, and they are made without butter or dairy. Enjoy them with your favorite toppings!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk (or any non-dairy milk of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for added flavor
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using) until well combined.
-
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes. This will help the pancakes become fluffier.
-
Preheat the Pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If desired, lightly grease the surface with a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking spray.
-
Cook the Pancakes:
Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Flip and Finish Cooking:
Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve:
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you cook the remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or dairy-free yogurt.
Tips
- For extra fluffiness, you can separate the wet and dry ingredients and whip the egg whites (if using) before folding them into the batter.
- Feel free to add mix-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts to the batter before cooking for added flavor and texture.
Enjoy your delicious, fluffy dairy-free pancakes!
